The PTL Television Network presents.
The Jim Baker Family Show.
Join us as we celebrate the 4th of July and Pastor Jim's 65th year in ministry.
Our special guests today are the founders of the PTL Television Network, Pastors Jim and Lori Baker.
Our special guests today are Pastor Paul Begley and Colonel David Giamona.
Our co-host is Mondo de la Vega.
And now here is your host, Pastor Ricky Baker.
Watching the PTL Television Network, we have Pastor Jim Baker's 65th year ministry anniversary.
Come on, listen.
I want to introduce this boy to you.
He's coffee.
This is Luke Baker.
Luke Orson Orson.
There's only two people in the whole world I know of the name Orson.
There's Orson Welles.
Did you ever hear him?
Yes.
And I'm James Orson Baker.
Oh, God.
I never told anybody that.
This boy is Luke Orson Baker.
That's right.
And it's my anniversary, so I get to do what I want.
That's right.
Do what you want.
Evangelist.
Ricky's wife.
Is here, Brooke.
Yes.
And this is Brooke Baker.
That's it.
New Baker girl.
Evangeline.
Is Evangela Evangeline?
Is it Evangelist?
Evangeline.
And then we have on the very end, Jaclyn.
Jacqueline.
Wait, Reynolds.
She's not shy.
She already picked up her mind.
She's ready.
What do you have, Jacqueline?
What do you have to say?
I think Jacqueline is going to be, and both her and Luke, I know I don't know about Evangeline, but I think she'll make it.
Ricky, we need a kid's show.
Amen.
Yes.
Listen, you have made an impact all over the world.
I've traveled in a lot of different places and everyone has been impacted by your ministry.
The words that you've spoken, you were, I don't want to say you were, but because you're still a great preacher.
But when you were younger, you had a fire in you that I think it took the world by surprise.
But we love you, Dad.
We thank you for staying strong.
If you only knew what he has been through the last 48 hours, you will realize it is a miracle that this man is still sitting with us after having two minute strokes.
I mean, it's crazy.
He just had one another one.
Another one, right?
That I didn't even tell any of you guys about.
Yeah.
Well, we love you.
Well, you know, I was standing at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention.
A very prominent man walked up to me and he goes, hey, are you Jim Baker's son?
And I said, I absolutely am.
He said, I want you to look around for a second.
He had me do this.
He had me look around at all the different booths.
We were at a point where I could see almost everything.
He goes, probably about 90 to 95% of every single ministry that's here was birthed because your father said yes.
Wow.
And I realize what influence, what influence that he had.
So, Colonel Giamona, we're going to let you play because I know Pastor Jim Baker's about to just tear into this cake.
So you play something where we can eat some cake and then we'll come back.
We have a show with Pastor Paul Baker.
I'm so glad you're here.
This is dedicated to you, America the Beautiful.
Oh, America the Beautiful.
Thanks for both.
I don't know if anybody knows what it's like.
You must have some great lung power.
I'll tell you.
Oh, my goodness, Colonel.
My mother was an old-time saint, but she loved the saxophone.
Her favorite instrument in the whole world.
And this man can play it.
He can play it.
And I like the saxophone, too.
It's really a great instrument.
It is good.
It is great.
It's good.
Don't go away.
We'll be right back after this special message.
We are introducing a brand new affiliate product to you, something that you are not going to want to miss out.
This is Numana Food.
We can no longer wait.
We have to act.
The Lord is saying we have to act.
We have to prepare.
And we want you to do that today.
We can help you.
Our operators are standing by.
The number again is 1-888-988-1588.
Remember, you can also go to the website to get a glimpse of all the different types of buckets that we're offering and releasing here at the Jim Baker Show.
But I do want to say, as we're filming right now, I want to say thank you to all of you who have served.
Thank you, Colonel.
Thank you, Ricky, for serving our great nation and the military.
And I want to thank all of you who have served and thank you.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
We just pray for you.
We plead the blood of Jesus over you.
And we are so grateful for you that have served.
Thank you, Ricky.
Thank you, Colonel.
Amen.
Amen.
Pastor Paul Begley, we have you here all the way from Florida.
You travel back and forth from Florida.
You know, we were talking in the green room before we were doing some behind-the-scenes stuff that people can go if they want access on our Facebook pages, our website.
We have subscriber-only content, but we were talking about just how much we love America and how much we love the freedoms that we have, not only as Americans, but also as believers in general.
What does freedom mean to you, especially during this season?
Well, I mean, freedom, first of all, when you have freedom in Christ, you're free indeed.
Sergeant in the Kingdom 00:03:09
Whom the Son of Man makes free is free indeed.
Yes, amen.
That's no doubt about it.
But you know, America is founded upon the principles of Judeo-Christian principles.
Amen.
And this is why people wonder why America is so blessed.
But America is blessed because we got the foundation right.
That's right.
And then we bless Israel.
And you put that double blessing together.
And we, as Americans, should be the proudest nation in the world.
All three of my sons served in the military, and one even fought in Afghanistan for a year.
And I'm here to say that we're proud to be Americans.
Yes.
Freedom.
Let freedom ring.
I heard somebody say that.
Yes, Amen.
If I want to come visit you in your church, how do I get there?
You come to the villages in Florida.
Do you guys all know about the villages?
Come on.
Oh, it's a community of 165,000 people.
What town do they look for?
It's the villages.
It's the villages, honey.
It's a city.
55 and older.
And you got to have a golf cart.
Cart.
Cart.
There's 91, I think, now, 91,000 golf carts in the villages.
Wow.
We have a big church under the tent outside, and you're about to build a new church.
You're ready to build a brand new church with Pastor Melvin Whittington.
We're co-pastors, and the church is growing like crazy.
And they love Jim Baker down in the villages.
I'm telling you right now.
And Lori.
And you're a sergeant, right?
I don't know if they call me a sergeant in the army, but I'm a foot soldier in the kingdom of God.
I'll say that.
You're a co-pastor of this church.
Co-pastor.
But you're supposed to be retired.
Yeah, well, I'm 63, but I've been.
But you're a pioneer in the church in Florida.
Yes, I am.
And I've been preaching 41 years.
I just celebrated, so I hope I get to 65.
But I just, we're pioneering a church in the villages in Florida.
It's growing like crazy.
We're under a tent.
People are coming from all across America.
We're having a great time.
I feel like pastors never actually retire.
Even whenever they say they're retired, they're still doing the work of the Lord.
Let's talk to a real retired man.
We have colours.
No, you get it wrong.
I'm not retired.
I'm refiring.
Hey, you served 32 years in the military.
You retired from the military, but you're still doing the work of the Lord all over the world.
You retired as a colonel.
Yes.
And praise God.
Thank you for that.
But I mean, yeah, you said we're not retiring, we're refiring.
Yeah.
Encourage someone.
We have a lot of people who are watching.
They write in, they send emails, and they say, you know what?
I've hit an age gap where I don't think the Lord wants to continue to use me.
What would you say to someone right now who says, you know, maybe I'm past my prime?
Look, until God calls you home, you are a mortal.
God has given you a purpose and a DNA and a thing that He's put inside you.
Read And Believe 00:15:29
No one, you know, this side of heaven should be retired from the kingdom of heaven because God has a work for all of us to do.
And so when God called me to preach at the age of 17, he's never recalled that.
Amen.
And so anybody out there, I don't care if you're called to preach or what, God has called you for such a time as this.
You can pray, you can read, you can give money, you can support the Jim Baker show, you can do all kinds of things.
Amen.
Amen.
And you wrote a book called Your Mission in God's Army.
An incredible book as well.
We have that through an affiliate program.
And we're also going to be talking about another book that you wrote, Pastor Paul Begley, called Revelation 911.
And man, what a cover that is as well.
This is a Holy Spirit inspired.
Tell us the vision that you saw whenever you saw that right in the sky in front of you.
Jim Baker endorsed the book, and I had a vision in July of 2021 where the red letters, Revelation 9:11, was suspended in the air.
And it was an open vision, so that means you're not asleep.
And I said, Lord, what is that?
And the Lord said, Read it and write it down.
Well, I didn't still understand.
Read what?
So I went to the Bible, I went to Revelation chapter 9, verse 11, and it said that Apollyon was going to be released from the bottomless pit, unleashing hell upon the earth, and warned the people.
And it really led me to Matthew 24.
Forgive me, but I believe with all my heart that perilous times are coming.
Do you believe Jesus is coming soon?
Absolutely, Jim.
There's no question.
I believe he's coming soon.
And you're right, dangerous, perilous times.
And people need to be ready to meet the Lord.
That's one of the things I always say: are you saved?
Besides, are you saved?
You need to read all about because you don't understand Revelation, but if you read it, it takes about 100 times, but you'll get it if you read it.
One of the things, Jim, I wrote in a book.
I write about all the current events and things, but when Iran, when President Trump bombed Iran's nuclear facility, the Bible says in Jeremiah 49 that the Lord would break the bow of Iran or the bow of Elam, their weapon.
This was prophesied by Jeremiah 3,000 years ago.
Yes.
And when Trump went ahead and dropped the bombs on that nuclear facility, he broke Iran's weapon.
Yes.
And according to the Bible, it will bring a time of peace.
It even says that they came from the four corners of heaven.
What happened when they dropped the bomb?
We sent fighters, we sent B-2 bombers to break that bow.
The prophecy that President Trump did when he fulfilled this scripture has opened it up now for a period, I believe, a time of great revival.
There's going to be a peace, a little peace.
It's temporary, but it will bring about a great revival.
And the Bible told us, you know, Ricky, that in Joel, it told us that there'll be the latter rain, the former and latter rain, Laurie.
And so when this happens, there's going to harvest this coming.
And Christian television is so important.
I think that, Jim, that's why when you were one of the founders of Christian television, it was to help bring about this great end time revival.
And I write about that in this book, Revelation 9:11.
The gates of hell cannot prevail against the church.
That's right.
We have the power.
In the name of Jesus.
We need to keep Christian television on the air.
Yes.
I've been on television for about 60-some years.
60 years.
And I'm telling you, this is why we built Christian television 50 years ago, 55 years ago, the hotel, 60 years ago.
And it's now that the gospel will preach in all the world and the name will come.
Amen.
And I believe television is one of the keys that God has ordained.
Amen.
Now, Jim uses the word television, but as we all know, it's media in all forms.
That's right, right.
All digital media.
All digital media.
I mean, Ricky and Mondo have tried to teach me about all this digital stuff and everything.
And Jim too, but it's media.
It's everywhere now.
It's not just television.
And you know, the more the headlines are getting more aggressive, that means the prophecy is moving into the forefront.
And what I'm nervous, pastors, is that there's a portion of the church that is asleep.
Oh.
Asleep to the reality that prophecy is being fulfilled, yet there's a portion of the church that doesn't understand what's going on.
Amen.
You can probably, well, why are you saying that?
Well, the Barner group released a report several months ago saying that the church is facing Bible illiteracy, not understanding what's happening right now.
So let me ask the two of you, how do we wake up the church to understand that revelation is taking place right now?
Go ahead.
Well, first of all, we're not going to wake up the church.
You know, Ricky and I were talking in the backstage.
The fact is, Matthew 25, Jesus said, prophesied the church would be asleep.
And the only thing I believe that's going to really shake the world is, you know, the coming persecution, coming fire.
You know, Paul's talking about a Holy Ghost revival.
I believe that.
And the church has to become one.
I think the only thing that's really going to happen in the future is there's going to be such a severe outbreak against the Christian church.
It's already started.
And people are going to have to get on one side of the fence or another.
There's not going to be this in no man's land.
So what the Bible is telling us, and I think clearly is going to happen, is God is uniting the church.
It doesn't matter if you're Baptist, Pentecostal, Catholic, whatever.
He's going to unite the remnant in Jesus Christ and that we're going to be one and we're going to go against the devil and against the world.
But this thing that, you know, what's going to happen?
How do we wake up the church?
God's going to have to bring the fire.
God's going to have to bring the fire.
He's going to bring revival and he's going to bring persecution against us.
And we're going to stand up in the name of Jesus.
Wow, Jesus.
What is your urgent message to the church at this hour?
Come on.
My urgent message is we have to be in unity.
Amen.
The Bible says if we get into spirit of unity and the bond of peace, then we're unstoppable.
Do you think the whole church is together right now?
No.
No, I think we're broken off into all kinds of little segments.
And we're wondering why we're all kind of up against the wall, if you will.
I was telling them off backstage.
I was on an airplane from Indianapolis to Orlando when the left engine caught on fire.
Oh.
Okay.
I mean, it exploded.
He just on fire.
Immediately, the captain came on and said, ladies and gentlemen, that wasn't real soothing, but he said, we're going to have to make an emergency landing in Atlanta.
And he started this plane down so fast.
Everyone braced.
But here's something happened in that plane.
People started grabbing each other's hands, and you could hear the whole plane praying.
Wow.
Everybody was praying.
Wow.
And nobody turned and said, are you a Baptist?
Come on.
Are you a Catholic?
Yes.
Are you Pentecostal?
When the plane's going down, everybody's together.
When the church comes together as one, it's going to put the devil's fire out and light the fire of God.
I've got to tell you something.
When I was on the battlefield, as an army chaplain in war in Afghanistan, in Iraq, no one asked me, hey, are you Pentecostal?
Are you Baptist?
No.
They want to know, do you know God?
Amen.
And can you get me to heaven?
Because the bullets are flying.
I believe that the church has thought we need to stop praying for peace and we need to start praying for fire.
For the fire of God to come down on us internally and externally.
And that's when we're going to see the church come together.
Come on.
Amen.
Boy, that is powerful.
Thank you for sharing the story about the airplane.
Oh, the plane landed okay.
Well, you're here.
Jesus.
Thank you, Lord.
But when we got done, everybody was thanking the Lord.
You could hear it throughout the plane.
And I said to myself, is this what it takes to get us to pray?
Do we have to have a moment of fire to move as you have in your vision?
So I really believed, you're right.
The persecution that comes against the church is what caused the early church to come together.
That's right.
And this latter-day church has to have the same power, if not more.
So persecution will come.
It's in Matthew 24.
You heard Jim say it a lot.
Persecution has not even got started yet, what we're going to face.
But I got good news.
Come on.
Jesus said, I'll never leave you.
I'll never forsake you.
I'll go with you all the way, even to the end of the world.
Boy, you're so right.
If they'll read Matthew 24, it's a roadmap to the end time.
It is.
You ought to read it now.
Right now.
I keep saying it, but does anybody write it down?
You better read Matthew 24.
And then you read the whole book of Revelation.
But Matthew 24 will be your first map to the last days.
Amen.
It's a guideline.
It's really like Jesus.
Jesus was asked the question.
Can you tell us the sign of thy coming and the end of the world?
And he said, okay, you want to know?
Well, there'll be false Christs and false prophets will come, and they'll deceive many.
You'll hear of wars and rumors of wars.
See that you be not troubled, for all these things must come to pass.
The end is not yet.
For nations shall rise against nation and kingdoms against kingdoms.
And there'll be famines, pestilence, earthquakes in diver places.
And all of these are just the beginning of sorrow.
But now we're going into the persecution stage.
So we've got to be on fire for God.
Amen.
We have to be on fire for God.
Carol G. Monte, if somebody's watching right now and they're saying, you know what, I have not given my life to the Lord or I've fallen away from my relationship with him.
Just a minute left on the broadcast.
What would you say to him today?
The first thing you need to do is get on your knees and ask the Lord to forgive you for your sins.
Repent of your sins and ask them in your heart.
Because in Romans, Apostle Paul tells us, if you believe in your heart and you confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord, you will be saved.
That's simple.
Confess the Lord Jesus Christ with your mouth and you will be saved.
Amen.
Amen.
And that's the key.
That's the key.
Pastor Paul, just a minute left.
Encourage our viewers today.
Maybe someone's going through, we were talking about this earlier.
There's a lot of people, and we've been getting a lot of letters who people say, you know what?
I know the end's coming close.
I've been praying, but I have prodigals in my family.
They're not serving the Lord.
I'm worried about them.
I want the Lord to come back tomorrow, but I know I have unsafe family members.
Why would you encourage them?
You know, don't ever give up.
Even when you're praying for them and it looks like they're getting worse or they're going in the wrong direction, God hears your prayer.
God is moving the mountains.
They're coming to you.
You've got a promise.
This promise is for you, for your children, your children's children.
You've got a promise.
Believe the word of God.
They're coming home.
They're coming to God.
Don't give up because greater is he that's in you than he that's in the world.
Amen.
Praise God.
Amen.
That's what we're going to continue to do.
That's why the PTL Network continues to stay here and stand here.
We want to preach the gospel to the ends of the earth until Jesus decides to come and rip through those clouds in all of his glory.
But until then, we want as many people as possible to go to heaven.
I believe that we're going to see a multi-billion soul harvest right before he comes back because the purpose of the cross was that not one would be lost.
That's your lost family members, that's your mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews.
It is so that everybody who says yes to the call of God, everyone who says yes to the good sacrifice that was the cross can spend eternity in heaven with him.
You know, on this show, we talk a lot about what's happening around the world and we talk about the ideologies that are diametric to the word of God and why we have to stand against them.
And you say, well, say, well, it's a little bit harsh.
Well, friends, we care more about your eternal position than we care about your temporary happiness.
Here on earth, the earth will offer you all types of temporary happiness, but we want you to be eternally secure in Jesus Christ.

Standing With Us 00:01:00
